While driving at speeds around 48 to 51 mph, you can feel the steering wheel start shaking sometimes if you take your foot off the gas petal it will stop but more than not it will go into a violent shake to where one can hardly hang onto the steering wheel. You have to try and get safely to shoulder and stop. Then you can drive away but when speeding up to merge back into traffic it does it again. When you just cant take it anymore you exit the freeway just to drive the city streets to where you get the small like shaking in the steering wheel. These past 2 weeks it seems to be happeing more often. I have had some work done as to what my guy thought it could be for it to not be fixed. I also now have the annoying air bag light coming on and beeping while turning any direction corner. I really like the Jeep but I only work part time and my fiance passed away 2 years ago before his passing he bought the Jeep so I would have a safe vehicle to drive. I do not feel safe driving the Jeep but it is the only one I do have now..parts and work done as of February of 2015.....3 tie rod ends replaced 2 lower one upper on passenger side, 2 new tires because I was told that is what was causing it., a rear driver side wheel seal, a valve cover gasket, 2 sets of front brake pads and rotors cosing well over $1300. And still have this violent shake. I can not afford to buy a different vehicle so please tell me what to stop the shaking forever.
